ArcGIS Server 10 for Java Installed and Running - After Some Post Install Admin Firewall Issues!

One of the things I'd like to get under my GIS belt this year, in addition to becoming proficient with Python, is to setup an ArcGIS Server web mapping application using Java. So the install went smoothly and I received our license number and authorized the installation.

Then I went to access the ArcGIS Server Manager to start authoring some test web maps. Unfortunately, I couldn't get past the username password screen!!! I used all the default usernames and set the password to something very simple. Then I tried the Post Install again and again, nothing worked.

Finally, I contacted someone who does ArcGIS Server in another part of the university's organization and explained that this is a common issue and I should turn the Firewall off. I did that and it worked. So the next step is to figure out how the heck to get the Firewall to work and ArcGIS Server to work.
